I believe that understanding UX is valuable for everyone, regardless of their background. That's why I would like create a space where we could share great and inspiring books everybody should read.
So it doesn't matter whether you're a seasoned UX designer, just starting out, or simply curious about how good design impacts our lives, we'd love for you to join our new online Prague UX Book Club!
What to Expect:
Always a new book: Every time we meet, we will have a new book to talk about.
Engaging discussions: We'll meet online (ideally monthly) to discuss a chosen book related to UX, design thinking, usability, or related topics. Our discussions will be friendly, informal and focused on learning from each other's perspectives and takeaways.
Flexible Format: Our online meetings will be Google Meet and will last max 1 hour. Usually in the Central Europe timezone.
Our First Book:
Let me kick off the first club be kicking things off with an epic book Designing Interactions by Bill Moggridge.
This fascinating book is very well written, contains many inspirational stories about how various designers came up to innovative solutions.
I am excited to learn more about UX books with you.

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?
An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.
IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.
You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.
You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.
Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?
Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. As an IxDF member, you can also plan and create your own meetups. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.
Some examples of what you'll find:
Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A
Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects
Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together
Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback
Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading
Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.
What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.
I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?
Yes, absolutely!
Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.
IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.
You'll fit right in regardless of your background.
